My main research focus is on investigating representation of intelligence - How do intelligent systems represent complex behaviors and concepts? Can we design representations that are more grounded and interpretable?
Currently, I am answering these questions in speech domain using diverse techniuqes in machine learning, AI, and neuroscience.
Before I came to Berkeley, I received a B.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University in Korea.
